Sites with moderately sloping terrain can use topography to their highest <br />adva~fage, allowing access fo the: upper levels from the higher parts of Elie natural terrain and access to <br />lower levels from the lowerparts. Sites with steep slopes might require,extra costs associated with <br />earfhmoving and retaining walls. <br />Definition: Moderately sloping Terrain far access fo the upperlevel of the transfer station (lipping floor) from higher <br />natural elevatiehsand access fo lower level of the transfer station (transfer drive-through) from lower natural <br />elevations: <br />A~CEcc Tn iES <br />Ala <br />- <br />}-€lestri~ fiurtj~v°rr'and-sewer_ <br />t-Wells,-septic-sy~+o,~~~s>pstewafer#eldin^ k <br />_ _ <br />_ <br /> <br />10.
